JELL-O® POKE CAKE



Jell-O® Poke Cake image

An old Southern recipe passed down through my grandmother. You can vary the flavor of gelatin used in order to get a specific color for any holiday, e.g. lime for St. Patrick's day. You can top this cake with berries, sprinkles, or any topping of your choice.

Jello Sheet (Poke Cake) Cake Frosting image

This is the original recipe for the Jell-o sheet cake frosting from the 1970's. I had to search Mom's recipes to find it as the new recipe just uses Cool Whip alone. The only change it to Cool Whip from dream whip to save a step. Everyone loves it.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect poke cake, start with a moist and fluffy cake base. Any cake mix or recipe can be used, but a white or yellow cake mix is a classic choice.
  • Poke the holes in the cake evenly and deeply enough to allow the Jell-O to soak in. A fork or toothpick can be used for this.
  • Use a variety of Jell-O flavors to create a colorful and flavorful cake. Any flavor combination can be used, but some popular choices include cherry, strawberry, orange, and lime.
  • Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before frosting it. This will help the Jell-O to set and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a light and fluffy frosting, such as whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. A heavy frosting will weigh down the cake and make it too dense.
  • Decorate the cake with sprinkles, candy, or fresh fruit. This will add a festive touch and make the cake even more appealing.

Conclusion:

Jello poke cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist cake base, flavorful Jell-O filling, and light and fluffy frosting, it is the perfect cake for any occasion. Whether you are making it for a birthday party, potluck, or just a special treat, Jello poke cake is sure to be a hit.
